Mariners Overcome White Sox in 6-3 Victory

CHICAGO (AP) — The Seattle Mariners secured a 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Saturday night, propelled by Jorge Polanco's impressive performance, which included two solo home runs and an RBI single. This win marks Seattle's second consecutive triumph, improving their record to 55-51, while the White Sox, struggling at the bottom of the league, suffered their 13th straight loss, just shy of tying their franchise record. Polanco's standout night featured his sixth career multi-homer game, bringing his season total to nine. He expressed confidence at the plate, stating, “I’m feeling really good at the plate that last couple of games.” Alongside Polanco, Cal Raleigh contributed significantly with his team-leading 21st home run, while Victor Robles added three hits and an RBI, showcasing a revitalized Mariners offense following a dominant 10-0 win the previous night. The Mariners capitalized on their momentum, with Polanco and Raleigh hitting back-to-back homers off reliever Justin Anderson in the fifth inning, marking the second consecutive game they achieved this feat against the White Sox. Right-hander Yimi Garcia made his debut for Seattle, delivering a flawless seventh inning, while Andrés Muñoz secured his 17th save by closing out the game. On the other hand, White Sox pitcher Erick Fedde struggled, allowing three runs in just four innings, his shortest outing of the season. Despite an early lead from Andrew Vaughn's RBI single, Chicago could not maintain their advantage, ultimately succumbing to the Mariners' offensive surge.
